ABOUT

Since 1991, Lake Agassiz Habitat for Humanity has partnered with more than 50 local families to help them build strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter. Sponsors, families, volunteers and Habitat staff join forces to build simple, decent and affordable homes for those in need. Partner families are selected based upon need, ability to repay, and the willingness to partner. Once Habitat partner families complete their sweat equity requirements, they purchase the home at a 0% mortgage, with their payments going back to Habitat to help build future homes.
